# Input Datasets

## CMIP6 raw datasets

The downscaled datasets shown here are derived from results from the [Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6](https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-9-1937-2016). Raw datasets are also available in the web catalog (labeled “Raw”). GCMs are run at different spatial resolutions, and the data presented here are displayed in their original spatial resolution. The raw CMIP6 datasets were accessed via the Pangeo data catalog.

### ERA5 Reanalysis

All downscaled datasets here were trained on the [ERA5](https://doi.org/10.1002/qj.3803) global reanalysis product at the 0.25 degree (~25 km) spatial resolution. All downscaling methods used daily temperature maxima and minima and precipitation for the period 1981-2010. One algorithm (GARD-MV) also used wind.

This dataset can be accessed/explored via an [intake](https://intake-esm.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) catalog.

```python
# !pip install intake-esm

import intake
cat = intake.open_esm_datastore("https://cmip6downscaling.blob.core.windows.net/training/ERA5-azure.json")

```
